+CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA~\cite{CUDA15} for GPUs. It provides a high level GPGPU-based programming model to program GPUs for general purpose computations and non-graphic applications. The GPU is viewed as an accelerator such that data-parallel operations of a CUDA program running on a CPU are off-loaded onto GPU and executed by this later. The data-parallel operations executed by GPUs are called kernels. The same kernel is executed in parallel by a large number of threads organized in grids of thread blocks, such that each GPU multiprocessor executes one or more thread blocks in SIMD fashion (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) and in turn each core of the multiprocessor executes one or more threads within a block. Threads within a block can cooperate by sharing data through a fast shared memory and coordinate their execution through synchronization points. In contrast, within a grid of thread blocks, there is no synchronization at all between blocks. The GPU only works on data filled in the global memory and the final results of the kernel executions must be transferred out of the GPU. In the GPU, the global memory has lower bandwidth than the shared memory associated to each multiprocessor. Thus in the CUDA programming, it is necessary to design carefully the arrangement of the thread blocks in order to ensure low latency and a proper usage of the shared memory, and the global memory accesses should be minimized.
+
+%We introduced three paradigms of parallel programming. Our objective consists in implementing a root finding polynomial algorithm on multiple GPUs. To this end, it is primordial to know how to manage CUDA contexts of different GPUs. A direct method for controlling the various GPUs is to use as many threads or processes as GPU devices. We can choose the GPU index based on the identifier of OpenMP thread or the rank of the MPI process. Both approaches will be investigated.

+\section{The Ehrlich-Aberth algorithm on a GPU}
+\label{sec3}
+
+\subsection{The Ehrlich-Aberth method}
+%A cubically convergent iteration method to find zeros of
+%polynomials was proposed by O. Aberth~\cite{Aberth73}. The
+%Ehrlich-Aberth (EA is short) method contains 4 main steps, presented in what
+%follows.
+
+%The Aberth method is a purely algebraic derivation.
+%To illustrate the derivation, we let $w_{i}(z)$ be the product of linear factors
+
+%\begin{equation}
+%w_{i}(z)=\prod_{j=1,j \neq i}^{n} (z-x_{j})
+%\end{equation}
+
+%And let a rational function $R_{i}(z)$ be the correction term of the
+%Weistrass method~\cite{Weierstrass03}
+
+%\begin{equation}
+%R_{i}(z)=\frac{p(z)}{w_{i}(z)} , i=1,2,...,n.
+%\end{equation}
+
+%Differentiating the rational function $R_{i}(z)$ and applying the
+%Newton method, we have:
+
+%\begin{equation}
+%\frac{R_{i}(z)}{R_{i}^{'}(z)}= \frac{p(z)}{p^{'}(z)-p(z)\frac{w_{i}(z)}{w_{i}^{'}(z)}}= \frac{p(z)}{p^{'}(z)-p(z) \sum _{j=1,j \neq i}^{n}\frac{1}{z-x_{j}}}, i=1,2,...,n
+%\end{equation}
+%where R_{i}^{'}(z)is the rational function derivative of F evaluated in the point z
+%Substituting $x_{j}$ for $z_{j}$ we obtain the Aberth iteration method.%
+
+
+%\subsubsection{Polynomials Initialization}
+%The initialization of a polynomial $p(z)$ is done by setting each of the $n$ complex coefficients %$a_{i}$:
+
+%\begin{equation}
+%\label{eq:SimplePolynome}
+% p(z)=\sum{a_{i}z^{n-i}} , a_{n} \neq 0,a_{0}=1, a_{i}\subset C
+%\end{equation}
+
+
+%\subsubsection{Vector $Z^{(0)}$ Initialization}
+%\label{sec:vec_initialization}
+%As for any iterative method, we need to choose $n$ initial guess points $z^{0}_{i}, i = 1, . . . , %n.$
+%The initial guess is very important since the number of steps needed by the iterative method to %reach
+%a given approximation strongly depends on it.
+%In~\cite{Aberth73} the Ehrlich-Aberth iteration is started by selecting $n$
+%equi-distant points on a circle of center 0 and radius r, where r is
+%an upper bound to the moduli of the zeros. Later, Bini and al.~\cite{Bini96}
+%performed this choice by selecting complex numbers along different
+%circles which relies on the result of~\cite{Ostrowski41}.
+
+%\begin{equation}
+%\label{eq:radiusR}
+%%\begin{align}
+%\sigma_{0}=\frac{u+v}{2};u=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}u_{i}}{n.max_{i=1}^{n}u_{i}};
+%v=\frac{\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}v_{i}}{n.min_{i=0}^{n-1}v_{i}};\\
+%%\end{align}
+%\end{equation}
+%Where:
+%\begin{equation}
+%u_{i}=2.|a_{i}|^{\frac{1}{i}};
+%v_{i}=\frac{|\frac{a_{n}}{a_{i}}|^{\frac{1}{n-i}}}{2}.
+%\end{equation}
+
+%\subsubsection{Iterative Function}
+%The operator used by the Aberth method corresponds to the
+%equation~\ref{Eq:EA1}, it enables the convergence towards
+%the polynomials zeros, provided all the roots are distinct.
+
+%Here we give a second form of the iterative function used by the Ehrlich-Aberth method:
+
+%\begin{equation}
+%\label{Eq:EA1}
+%EA: z^{k+1}_{i}=z_{i}^{k}-\frac{\frac{p(z_{i}^{k})}{p'(z_{i}^{k})}}
+%{1-\frac{p(z_{i}^{k})}{p'(z_{i}^{k})}\sum_{j=1,j\neq i}^{j=n}{\frac{1}{(z_{i}^{k}-z_{j}^{k})}}}, %i=1,. . . .,n
+%\end{equation}
+
+%\subsubsection{Convergence Condition}
+%The convergence condition determines the termination of the algorithm. It consists in stopping the %iterative function when the roots are sufficiently stable. We consider that the method converges %sufficiently when:
+
+%\begin{equation}
+%\label{eq:Aberth-Conv-Cond}
+%\forall i \in [1,n];\vert\frac{z_{i}^{k}-z_{i}^{k-1}}{z_{i}^{k}}\vert<\xi
+%\end{equation}
